Hope and Healing through Integrative Care

Mind Body Seven is a group of Brooklyn-based psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists providing a holistic approach to mental health and wellness.

Our treatment plans address both mind and body in treating depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, couples and families, and more. We aim to provide the highest quality of care to children, adolescents, and adults.

Our team of compassionate practitioners is waiting to hear from you. Take the first step toward positive change.

Mental health is about more than your mind

It’s also about your body.

It’s about your nutrition and lifestyle habits, your relationships, and your professional life. It’s about how you adapt to change and handle big emotions. It’s about your sense of purpose. It’s about all this and more.

Our practitioners treat the whole person—not just their symptoms. We integrate proven psychological protocols with evidence-based mind-body therapies, lifestyle counseling, and more to help our patients live their best lives.

Our team includes specialists in a diverse range of therapies and conditions. We can also provide referrals to other excellent clinicians for those who need treatment outside our areas of specialization.

WHY SEVEN?

The “seven” in our name represents a guiding principle that all our practitioners share: that the path to mental wellness lies in addressing seven areas of life that are essential to your well-being. These include:

1. Big Picture

values • purpose • meaning • spirituality • flow

What are your values? The answer is different for everyone, and it may change over time. We help our clients understand the big picture—their priorities in life, core values, and sense of purpose.

2. Body

We perform blood tests to identify systemic issues or nutrient deficiencies that might be affecting your mental and physical wellness. We also do genetic testing to tailor medications and reduce side effects.

In all instances, we strive to use the least toxic treatment strategy. We will work with you to taper off your current meds if that’s your preference, and integrate mind-body techniques to minimize your dosage.

3. Emotions

acceptance • mindfulness • regulating emotions • positive emotions

Your experience of life is colored by your emotional state—and some strong feelings can cause serious mental stress.

Through a combination of psychotherapy, mindfulness and mind-body techniques we’ll help you recognize the triggers of disruptive feelings, label and understand them, and cultivate a positive emotional state.

Your holistic treatment may include a range of therapies—such as mindfulness-based psychotherapy, EMDR, relaxation training, biofeedback, and more, depending on your needs.

4. Love

We can help you sharpen your interpersonal intelligence, develop healthy boundaries, and strengthen your relationships with those who are most important to you. We offer couples, family, and individual therapy for adults, adolescents, and children.

5. Work

work • organizational skills • finances

Many of us spend more time at work than at home. Your professional life impacts your personal life—and your mental health.

Our practitioners work with you to identify patterns that keep you stuck or unhappy at work. We’ll also help you learn to celebrate your successes, identify your strengths, tame organizational and time management issues, and handle challenging work relationships.

6. Growth

continuous learning • openness • change

Most of us face multiple periods of upheaval during our lives. Even positive changes, such as becoming a parent, graduating from school, changing jobs or careers, or getting married can bring challenges.

We believe that we never stop learning and evolving, no matter how old we are. We can help you adapt to a new role, foster curiosity and openness to change, and grow and rediscover yourself during periods of transition.

7. Lifestyle

habits • schedule • work-life balance

Your sleep schedule, nutrition, exercise habits, and stress levels have a profound effect on how you feel. Even small adjustments to basic lifestyle factors can reduce or eliminate serious mental health symptoms.

We can work with you to identify lifestyle issues that may be affecting your mental wellness—and help you develop a plan for transformative change.

Our mission is to walk with you along a path to finding meaning, embracing and shaping your purpose, and creating a broader vision for your mental health and life as a whole.

OUR APPROACH TO CARE

We strive to reduce the stigma of mental health care and to foster positive experiences of psychiatry and psychotherapy. While can assist with a wide range of concerns, we specialize in treatment for anxiety, depression, couples therapy, marriage counseling, bipolar disorder, anger management, and eating disorders.

We've assembled some of the best psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists in Brooklyn, and we use an integrative approach incorporating both conventional and alternative treatments - depending upon what best suits your needs.

Mind Body Seven clinicians offer expert treatment for a wide range of conditions relating to mental health and wellness. We draw from the most current research and ancient sources of wisdom.

We work with you to determine the approach and treatments that will serve you best. We focus on integrative methods that may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mind-body medicine treatments, mindfulness, and dietary recommendations.

We address the symptoms that bring you into treatment, and build on your strengths, talents, interests, experiences, and imagination.

We strive to develop a comprehensive understanding of who you are, taking into account the particulars of your life—your social, emotional, cultural, and professional life.

While diagnosis is important because it guides treatment, we aim to avoid attaching labels. Instead we focus on a personalized approach to care that evolves over time with you.

Knowledge is power, and you are the ultimate expert and authority on your own mental health. Our role is to share with you the knowledge and expertise you need to make good choices for your health and wellbeing.

We serve as teammates and committed partners on your path to feeling better and optimal health in the seven areas of wellness: emotions, growth, body, relationships, work, lifestyle, and the big picture.

We support you in achieving greater freedom in your life through knowledge, understanding, and personal development.
